In order to be an empowered woman...
...
You’re going to have to burn some bridges. And we’re taught to never do that. To smile pretty. Stay nice. Reply to messages. Be sweet. Keep it cool. Rise above. Take the high ground. Don’t be a bitch.
...
But consider this;
All those high grounds are holding you back. Staying nice is taking your energy. Not everyone deserves your pretty. You were born fire so why do you need to cool down. Replying to the messages is holding you in dark spaces and the high ground feels like treading water.
...
And then do this;
Strap on your bitch face. Burn the bridge to the fucking ground. You cannot rise from ashes if they don’t exist. Ignore the messages. Spit out the apologies. Stay messy, stay ratchet, stay fire. Laugh in the low ground. Hold onto the lace, the lingerie and every bit of beauty you posses.
...
Your gender has had too many rules for too many years and you were born to be free
